Tirupati: Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has launched a fresh salvo at the Opposition alliance, branding the promises outlined in the common manifesto of the Telugu Desam and Jana Sena parties as “sheer deception.” He noted that even the BJP, the alliance partner of TD-JS, has distanced itself from Chandrababu Naidu's “deceptive promises,” by raising objections to the inclusion of BJP leaders' photographs in the common manifesto.
Addressing public gatherings across Kondapi, Mydukur, and Piler constituencies on Tuesday, Jagan Mohan Reddy claimed that the BJP prohibited the TD-Jana Sena coalition from featuring photos of their leaders, including that of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, citing “a lack of faith” in Naidu's promises.
Mocking the Opposition combine, Jagan Mohan Reddy stated that Naidu failed to accommodate all three allies' photographs due to the BJP's objections, highlighting the deep divisions within the alliance.
Jagan Mohan Reddy remarked that the Opposition leaders were hurling abuses at him out of sheer frustration, even stooping to threats of elimination, as they were unable to list any significant achievements during their tenure. “The opposition is in frustration, disarray, and dismay, having lost coherence in both speech and attitude. Only inefficient people get angry when they realise their helplessness, and the outbursts of Naidu and his gang stem out of their deep sense of frustration,” he said.
